NEW YORK, September 26.-The stock market
TO-DAY was quiet Thee was little news OF any
Kind 10 effect values. and with generaiiy
bcarish temper among those who had tho
Mornings trading In their own hands prices
ssgged oI. There was no pressure 70 sell,
but the support was entirely lacking except
little buying by London. AT the opening tho
street became full OF rumors that the presi-
dent OF the Pacific Mail had sold the balance
Of his holdings, which was followed by state
n,ent that plans for tho thorough reorganiza-
lien Of the company and directory were COM
peted. The stock was quickly bid up over
four points, and transactions In the stock be
cane large. Jersey Central followed WITH
similar but not 30 extensive increment,
whi!o the entire list moved up In sympathy.
The business done, except In some seven or
eight stocks. was Insignificant The rise In
Pacific Nail was started at noon. and the
course o. prices was steadily upward from that
time until the close, which was dull aud nrin.

Is the Great Wall of China a Mv,h,


Able Larrieu, formerly missionary in
China, has published a pamphlet (..Par-
is, Leroux') on the great wall of China
to demonstrate that that this structure
does not exist and has never existed
The popular belief is that this wall
stretches for about 800 leagues across
China, from the sea to the province of
Kansu, that it is constructed of cut
stone, and thirty cubits high by twelve
broad. 1t is believed TO run strairht
on regardless of obstacles, going down
valleys and up mountains, without
break, except such as time as made,
along its whole course. This notion
originated with a Jesuit, named Mar
TIM, who visited China about 1850. and
his description was followed by subse-
quent writers. NJ Larrieu has lived
lived for several years under what
would have been the shadow of the
great wall, had there been one; he has
studied the writings of recent writer's
especially Able Huc-who have crossed
the line of the alleged wall in various
places; he has likewise studied the
Chinese history of the subject, and has
conclusions as follows: ~ the term
'Great Wall'' is at the bottom Of all
misunderstanding, and it comes from
the Chinese expression 1.-The wall
of +bo 4boncon1 Il /0N
scribed by Martini and other
writer's who have CAPPED him, this wall
does not and never did exist; 60 a
Chinese emperor undoubtedly did con-
ceive the idea of great wall from the
Gulf of Liao-LOng on the east to Kansu
on the west, and this. though never
realized, had beginning; a. all along
the proposed line of the wall square
towers of earth, or of earth faced with
brick, were constructed at considerable
distances from each other, but these
were never joined together by any wall
as was originally intended. In some
of the defiles along the route there are
walls, but these were intended to close
these particular passages, or they are
merely the walls or villages, and are
not part of a larger scheme. Hence
the only part of the scheme of the
Great Wall carried out was the con-
structicn of these scattered towers; the
rest never went beyond the brain that
conceived it: it was never more than a
fancy, and it Is now a myth. Ehis
huge Chinese wall, says Aboe Larrieu,
is a huge Chinese lie, and as for the
million soldiers which were said to
guard it night and day, they are myths
likewise. The alleged great wall is q
favorite excursion for Europeans visit
ing Pekip, and such a question as to
whether it exists at all or not should
be an easy one to settle definitely

Wheat and the World.

Could imperial Rome have only
grown sufficient wheat in Italy to have
fed her legions Caesar would still be
master of three-fourths of the earth.
Rome thought more in her latter days
of grapes and oysters, and mullets,
that change color as they die, and
singing girls and flute playing. and
cynic verse of Horace, anything rather
than corn. Rome is no more, and the
lords Of the world are they who have
mastership of wheat. We have the
mastership at this hour by dint OF our
gold and our 100-ton guns, but they
are telling our farmers to cast aside
their corn and grow tobacco, fruit and
any anything else that can be thought
of in preference. The gold is slipping
away. These sacks in the market,
open to all TO thrust their hands in,
are not sacks of corn, but of golden
sovercirns, new George and the dra-

New Orleans Picayune, Aug. 18th
The story of how The Louisiana State
Lottery Company deals out fortunes
every month is known far and near.
Chances in the drawings are eagerly
taken by all classes. How many per-
sons have been suddenly made rich By
this institution would be hard to tell
the number would almost seem in
credible. 1t can be safely said, how
ever, that residents of every State in
the Union have proftod by it. One of
the many made happy by the last draw
ing was w. II. Antony, dairyman
of Houston, Tex, who held one-.enth
of No. 50,252, which drew the capital
prize of $15O,0OO, collected by Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s Express through the
firm of T. w. House of Houston.
The other tenth of this ticket was
held by Mr.. George H. Zapp of the
same place. This gentleman, accom-
panied by his son, arrived in the city
Wednesday night, and on presenting
his ticket at the company's office the
following morning was handed q check
on the New Orleans National Bank.
He was greatly in need of the money,
and on the receipt of the news of his
good luck he fairly wept with joy.
Mr.. Zapp is native of Germany, but
for the past eight years has made his
home in Houston where he has been
clerking in a cotton press. He is
large. fine looking man, 90 years OF
ace. and has q wife and three children,
He has not decided what use he viii
make of his newly found fortune, but
will look out for some profitable way
of investing it. Mr.. Zapp has visited
New Orleans before and will remain
here several days to renew old ac
quaintances.
Apropos of Mr.. Zapp's visit to thi:
city it might be mentioned that hi:
nephew. Mr. Orsini Zapp, of RounC
Top. Texas, came here on q similar
errand in May, 1855. He was alsC
the winner Of $4,000 The money b
cut out in land and stock il Fayett'
county. Texas. To-day he is one o
the most prominent farmers in tina
section of the country, and is blessed
with happy family and has all IN

Word.

The brief address Of the Democratic
City Committee, contained in our issue
OF this morning, ought 10 receive the
attention of every thoughtful voter.
1t presents in a comprehensive form
some of the considerations which should
influence all good citizens TO do their
part in keeping MAHoNE from securing
the control of the city government, the
police, the parks, the water-works, the
streets. the Engineers office. Let him
get majority in both houses of the
General Assembly and the people of
this city will learn what alien govern
mont means.
-Four year ago the rule of MALONE
had become intolcrable, and the pco-
pie rose in their majesty and hurled
him from power. Long queues of
voters, extending in some cases three
hundred or more feet from the voting
place, occupied our streets for hours.
Patiently these voters waited in order
to get an opportunity to deposit their
ballots. We never before witnessed
such a scene. We never before saw
manifested in the countenances Of the
voters so determined a purpose to gain
a victory. We never before realized
the full power Of the ballot
Why were our people so deeply in
tercstcd? 1t Was because in 1879. in
1881, and in 1852, they had failed to
triumph over fhe monster enemy of
Virginia WILLIAM MALONE. They
could bear their Chains no longer They
resolved to break the manacles that
bound them. And they did break
them. MALONE went down before their
conquoring aggressiyencss.
VIII you now ignobly surrender the
control of your State and city? VIII
You deliberately allow MALONE a chance
to fasten his chains upon you again ?
viii You risk years of such a rule as a
MALONE Legislature would give you in
Richmond
If not, cast your vote in the primary
election, and beg your neighbors to DO
likewise.

projectors of q road to the United
States. While it is true that Mr.. Nor
quay in his recent visit to this cOun-
Try failed to raise money for that
road, it is also true that he and his
people seem to be determined that
it shall be built. On the other hand,
the Canadian Government is firm in
the maintenance of the rights of the
Canadian Pacific, which is doing q
great work in developing a new country
at an enormous expense to itself. The
contention may have serious results.
How it may affect the interests of the
United States, with whom the people
of Manitoba feel themselves to have
much in common, is, of course, a mat
ter of mere conjecture.
John NOrquay, Prime Minister and
Treasurer of Manitoba. is the second
son of the late John Norquay, a native
of Red River colony, and is descended
from Scottish family. He was born
May S, 1841, and was educated at st.
johns Academy, where he took a scho-
larship in 1854. His public life began
with memberships the Board of Health
and afterward of the Board of Educa-
ton OF Manitoba. He was q member
of the Executive Council and Minis
ter of Public Works and Agriculture
for Manitoba from December II, 1871,
until July s, 1874, when he resigned
with his colleagues. Mr.. Norquay was
reappointed to the new Government in
March, 1875, taking the portfolio of
Provincial Secretary. This Office he
resigned and was appointed Minister OF
Public Works in May, 1875. In Oc-
tober, 1878, he became Premier and
Provincial Treasurer, which offices he
has held ever since. He has been a
member of the House of Commons for
sixteen years, and during nearly all that
time member of the Government.
The Prime Minister of Manitoba is a
solld-looking man. He is a pleasant
talker. and q most agreeable as well
as capable person. When twenty-one
years of age he married.

Commissioner OBERLEY, who had
previously said that the opinion was
not to be tolerated that because a man
occupies place in the classified civil
service he must therefore surrender his
right to take an interest in the politics
of the country and who also said that
no degree of activity in effort to ad-
vance the interest of the party opposed
to the Administration should, provided
bis partisan activity in no way inter
feres with his public duties, render in
secure in the service of the Govern
ment tho position of any person who
did not occupy a place the discharge
of the duties of which affects public
service, now declares that the State as.
sociations of Democratic holders
in Washington violate the ciyil-seryice
law. This law seems to operate almost
wholly in the interest of the Republi-
can party, according TO Mr.. OBERLEY.
II the virginians in Washington haven't
the night to meet together as the Vir-
GINA Democrats there have been in the
habit of meeting in the "Virginia
Democratic Association" then we have
fallen upon evil times.
